All this witchin' is bitchin'! Main combo is the ludicrously effective and, might I add, easy to set up Bogbrew Witch + Bubbling Cauldron + Festering Newt . The theme is a night in the swamp with a Coven of Witches. Bogbrew Witch is the coven matron, with Deathgreeter, Death Cultist , and Grim Haruspex being coven members. Festering Newt and Mortician Beetle are potent familiars to these practitioners of the dark arts, and the Guul Draz Assassin is their powerful enforcer that stands guard over their eldritch meetings. The Desecration Demon is the dread force they are summoning to form a dark covenant in the form of a Contaminated Bond , a Sanguine Bond, or even the feared Grave Pact. Such a summoning requires sacrifice, as declared by Geth's Verdict to be in the form of an Altar's Reaping. However, this sacrifice is not to be feared, for all of the coven are bound in Immortal Servitude, deep within the marshy bogs of their Leechridden Swamp.

In all seriousness, the deck works wonders for a mere $36, and $14 of it is in the Grave Pacts, alone. The thematic combo also has secondary interactions with many of the other cards, like using Sanguine Bond to double the Cauldron's damage, the Newt's sacrifice as a catalyst for boosting Mortician Beetle, and damaging all my opponents with the Cauldron, only to use that damage to bring out a fat ass Cryptborn Horror (from the sideboard) for the final sweep.
